Basic Information:

• Everybody must re-audition each year. The purpose: to re-engage and show the student's growth and commitment.  Each year we lose our eighth graders because they age out of The Ensemble, leaving openings for new students. 

• Auditions for The Ensemble are typically in May or June for the coming school year.

• We do not announce the show until we have chosen our group.  The December show is announced in August, the May show is announced in December.  

• We hire professional choreographers to choreograph our shows.

• We have a live accompanist at all of our rehearsals.

• Every student is given 2 comps per semester for the show.

• Included in your tuition are two T-shirts, one for each production

• We do not recommend auditioning a cappella. We hire a live accompanist for our auditions. Please bring sheet music in your key, properly mark it, and put it in a binder.

• Please bring a picture and resume to your audition with contact info on it. The picture does not have to be professionally done. A picture is typically 8 x 10, but again, it does not have to be 8 x 10.
